Description

The invention relates to a collection / transport box for the collection and transport of particular screen old devices, VDUs or the like, with a bottom part, a rear wall and two side panels.

In March 2006, the Law on the placing on the market, the return and the environmentally sound disposal of electrical and electronic equipment entered into force EU Directive 2002/95 / EC and WEEE have been transposed into German law. This law stipulates how the collection of old devices and their disposal must be carried out and what minimum requirements must be fulfilled.

Despite the entry into force of the ElektroG, a disposal practice has been established that does not meet the requirements of the law in many respects. Thus, in particular, old-age devices, video monitors or the like are usually not detected separately or unbreakable, so that it regularly comes to damage due to improper transport and transshipment processes. This is accompanied by the danger that pollutants are released. In addition, there is a risk of injury to the employees of disposal companies such as cuts caused by broken picture tubes.

Cause of the variety of damage of screen devices, video monitors or the like u. a. their storage and transport in conventional containers, troughs or other, non-compliant containers, the type of construction no break-proof and separate detection of the old devices in question allow.

Against this background, the invention has the object to provide a collection / transport box for the collection and transportation of particular screen old devices, VDUs or the like, which takes into account the legal requirements and the careful handling of such devices allowed and so far minimizes the risk of damage and injury.

This technical problem is solved in a collection / transport box for the collection and transport of particular screen old devices, VDUs or the like, with a bottom part, a rear wall and two side panels, according to claim 1 by the measures that the rear wall and the Side parts are covered with close-meshed lattices that the bottom part is formed by a greased, closed floor panel with a circumferential frame and that the bottom part and the grid is connected to four vertical rising corner columns.

The collection / transport box according to the invention has a variety of advantages for the collection and transport of particular screen old devices, VDUs or the like according to the ElektroG, which of course also apply to similar device.

The free during a loading or unloading front allows it to be disposed of disposable screen devices, screen devices or the like on the bottom plate material gently. A throwing a screen into a container or in a similar unsuitable collection is avoided. The beaded, closed bottom plate prevents cables or small parts such as connectors from falling through a grid of a grid floor. A similar purpose serve the close-meshed grid, through which the rear wall and the side panels are formed. The mesh size should preferably be dimensioned so small that conventional plugs or similar small parts do not fall through.

Constructively simple, the bottom part and the grid are connected to four vertically rising corner columns.

Conveniently, it is further provided that the corner supports projecting below the bottom part and that in each case on the narrow sides by an L-shaped angle between a corner support and the narrow-side frame part a tab for a prong of a fork of a floor conveyor such as a forklift is formed. In addition, such a tab can form a foot as it were. Of course, comparable tabs also front and back of the frame can still be provided.

Depending on the embodiment, it is advantageous that reinforcing elements are provided on the underside of the bottom part. These can on the one hand continue to stiffen the bottom plate and serve in particular a leveling and enlarging the support surface for the tines of a fork of a floor conveyor. Use find preferably light, usual profiles.

In a preferred embodiment of the box according to the invention it is provided that the reinforcing elements are formed by tubes of rectangular cross-section. It may be thought to use tubes welded together in pairs, which extend approximately in the middle of the tabs between the side frame members and substantially complete the underside with the frame.

In a constructive embodiment of the collection / transport box according to the invention, a roof is further provided which is arranged below the top of two connecting the front side with the rear corner supports crossbeams such that on the crossbeams another box is deductible.

Conveniently, such a roof will be designed as a pent roof, which has a slope towards the back. Sufficient stability obtains such a roof, if it consists of a corrugated or trapezoidal sheet metal. In addition, in a roof with such a geometry, a water drain is specified.

The roof may be tied to the cross members and / or the corner supports self-supporting and / or on a front and a rear rod, which extend between the front and rear corner supports, rest.

Such a roof sufficiently protects the devices stored in the box according to the invention from precipitation.

Furthermore, the crossbeams allow the stacking of several boxes according to the invention, whereby a considerable transport or storage volume is achieved on a small footprint. The roof also has the task to limit the loading height of a lower box.

In practical tests it has been shown that the handling of boxes of a length of about 2.20 m with, for example, a pallet truck with a certain uncertainty is afflicted. Therefore, boxes are much shorter preferred, for example, a length of 1.75 m and in particular of a length of only 1.50 m. The last measure has the further advantage that, when the depth and height of the box according to the invention are selected, it is possible to turn them on the loading areas of 7.5-tonne or 12-tonne trucks and, in particular, make optimum use of the loading area of these trucks.

For a transport is further provided in an embodiment of the box according to the invention that the front of the box safety bars are provided, the end each enclose with an angle a corner support, which is trapped in a eckstützenfesten, top open flap. A plurality of such safety bars, for example seven, prevent the front-side falling out of the devices during transport in a simple manner.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that a securing rod is connected at the end to a first leg of a U-profile enclosing the corner support, that its second leg and the web connecting the legs form the angle and that the first leg has an angling for attachment a grid bar.

Especially with horizontally and vertically extending bars, the dimensions of the U-profile and the mesh size can be coordinated so that a horizontal displacement of a hooked into a grid fuse bar between two vertical bars is not possible, and thus the height of the U-profile of the mesh size equivalent. The distance between the two legs of the U-profile also corresponds approximately to the mesh size, so that the first and second legs rest on two horizontal bars. In this case, the bend on the first leg reliably prevents accidental falling off of the securing rod, since this can only be released by a vertical lifting of the grid.

Since on-screen devices, screen devices or the like have quite different sizes, it is also useful if the tab height is greater than the height of the angle, so that such a fuse bar secures the device with a certain height clearance.

In order to prevent the angle slips out of the tab during a transport, for example, is pushed out by an on-screen device, by a screen device or the like, it is further provided that the tab is closed on the upper side by a bolt.

The box according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which only embodiments are shown schematically and not to scale. In the drawing shows:

8th : Sectionally a vertical section through a bottom part.

The front view of the collection / transport box 1 for the collection and transport of particular screen old devices, video monitors or the like has a bottom part 2 , a back wall 3 and two side parts 4 . 5 on. The front is kept open for easy access. The back wall 3 as well as the side parts 4 . 5 are with tight meshes 6 . 7 occupied, the mesh size is preferably such dimensioned that plug or similar small parts can not fall through.

The back wall 3 is through two connection profiles 8th as well as the side parts 4 . 5 through three connection profiles 9 still divided, which also provides sufficient rigidity of the four vertical rising corner columns 10 - 12 is reached, of which only three are shown in the drawing.

The from the corner columns 10 - 12 over a ground 13 held bottom part 2 has a surrounding frame 14 on, the one for improved carrying capacity with beads 15 provided floor panel 16 wearing. Below the frame 14 are front and back lugs 17 connected, as the side, so that a floor conveyor such as a forklift the box 1 approach, lift and transport from all sides.

2 shows the formation of tabs 18 on the narrow sides of the box 1 , The corner supports 11 . 12 stand the bottom part 2 below and in front of one leg 19 an L-shaped angle 20 , The other thigh 21 is on the narrow side frame part 14 connected. This is through the tab 18 in the embodiment, a foot formed on the floor 13 gets up.

The corner supports 10 - 12 carry on the upper side along the narrow sides in each case a cross-beam 22 . 23 and they are the ones through the tabs 18 trained feet and crossbars 22 . 23 coordinated so that a stacking of boxes 1 is possible.

Optionally, a roof can continue 24 to the crossbeams 22 . 23 be connected. Such a roof 24 , For example, formed as a pent roof for a water outlet to one side or a suitable other water drain is below the tops 25 . 26 the crossbeams 22 . 23 connected to the stackability of boxes 1 continue to guarantee.

For a transport of particular screen devices, video monitors or the like, the open front of the box 1 through safety bars 27 closed, compare 3 and 4 , These safety bars 27 , For example, seven pieces, each end have an angle 28 on, one of which is a thigh 29 in an open top flap 30 front of the corner bar 10 is caught. The other thigh 31 surrounds the corner bar 10 so that the front corner poles 10 . 11 through the safety bars 27 be locked together.

4 also shows that the height of the tab 30 is greater than the height of the angle 28 so the safety bar 27 a certain height match gem. Double arrow has, which ensures a good fit to possibly protruding device.

Thus falling out of the safety bar 27 is safely prevented, is the top of the tab 30 a latch 32 intended. In the embodiment, the latch 32 through a plate 33 formed in an upper area around a bolt 34 into an angle 28 releasing position can be pivoted. The geometry of the plate 33 is attached to the corner support 10 be adjusted. For example, with a round cross section, the plate becomes 33 half-shell-like the corner support 10 cover.

Are all safety bars 27 front with the corner supports 10 . 11 locked, can the box everywhere 1 be approached by a floor conveyor, lifted, transported and loaded on a truck. It is further advantageous that the dimensions of the box 1 are selected according to the invention such that, for example by means of a lift truck, the box 1 can be turned on the back of a truck and on the other hand, the loading surface of such a truck optimally through the box 1 is exploited.

Based on 5 and 6 is another embodiment of a safety bar 36 and their locking on a corner support 37 explained. The safety bar 36 is dull on a first thigh 38 a U-profile 39 placed. The second leg 40 as well as the thighs 38 . 40 connecting bridge 41 include the corner support 37 in the manner described above, wherein the web 41 in a corner-fixed tab 42 is held. Because the thighs 38 . 40 the corner support 37 can fit accurately, the safety bar can 36 transmit both tensile and compressive forces between two corner posts.

The thigh 38 of the U-profile 39 is further with a bend 43 provided that a latched attaching the safety bar 36 to a horizontally extending grid bar 44 allows, comparisons 6 , Are the mesh size of a grid 45 with horizontally and vertically extending bars of a collection / transport box 46 and the dimensions of the U-profile 39 matched accordingly, both legs are 38 . 40 on horizontally extending bars 44 . 47 on. Is also the U-profile 39 between two vertically rising bars 48 narrow, is a loosening of the safety bar 36 only possible after a largely exact, vertical lifting.

The collection / transport box 46 has a roof 50 from a trapezoidal sheet. This roof 50 rests on one side of the corner supports 51 . 52 connecting profile 53 and on the back on a lower profile, the back corner posts connecting profile 54 , Also in this embodiment is by the arrangement of the roof 50 Ensure that another collection / transport box on the crossbeams 55 . 56 can be discontinued.

8th shows the structure of the bottom part 57 the collection / transport box 46 in detail. The corner support 51 is the bottom part 57 on the lower side in front and on a first leg 58 an L-shaped angle 59 , The second leg 60 is dull on a side frame part 61 attached by U-shaped cross-section, for example, welded. The approach is here by a triangle plate 62 strengthened. Through the angle 59 again a foot and a tab for a tine of a fork of a floor conveyor is formed.

Like the narrow side frame part 61 is also a front frame part 63 U-shaped profiled. The upper thighs 64 . 65 the frame parts 61 . 63 embrace with beads 66 provided floor panel 67 , Furthermore, in the thigh 64 of the narrow-side frame part 61 vertically rising bars 68 taken in while the thigh 65 of the front frame part 63 is left smooth.

The beads 66 rely on a reinforcing element 69 off, here on two pipes 70 . 71 of rectangular cross-section.

The pipes 70 . 71 extend between the narrow-side frame parts 61 , parallel to the front frame part 63 and are about the center of the angle 59 formed tab for a prong of a fork of a floor conveyor arranged. As a result, a tine that is shorter than the width of the collection / transport box 46 , on the pipes 69 . 70 support, which ensures a safe lifting for transport.

Further reinforcing elements 69 can still the bottom plate as needed 67 Strengthen wearing.
